Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1617 Apricot Lily *

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. In general, glossier finishes are easier to wipe clean and can look more reflective, while flatter finishes reduce shine but may show wear differently. The same match of SW1617 Apricot Lily can look slightly different at each sheen level, so the finish choice is part of the final appearance, not just the color.

If you are matching an existing painted part, try to keep the sheen consistent with the surrounding surface. If you are painting a new part, pick the finish that fits the use and the surface prep you can support.

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using. A primer often helps with adhesion and can improve how evenly SW1617 Apricot Lily covers, especially on bare, slick, porous, repaired, or hard-to-coat surfaces.

As a rule of thumb, a primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but it is not always required. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, and consider a test application if the surface is unfamiliar.

Lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can all change how SW1617 Apricot Lily reads after application. Even when the color match is correct, the finished item may look lighter, darker, warmer, or less consistent than the reference swatch depending on where and how it is viewed.

This matters most when the new coating sits right next to an older painted surface, because aging and gloss differences can make the result look different even if the color target is the same. If color approval is important, evaluate the finished sample in the actual location and lighting where it will be used.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1617 Apricot Lily is a practical choice for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small or awkward items that are easier to coat with spray than with a brush.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1617 Apricot Lily, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
